quote:
unclean playing was fixed You cant fix unclean playing. If its not played clean, its not going to sound clean. You can punch in, or edit things, but you cant make a note, notes, or chords that were played in a fuzzy unclear way, clean. Its impossible. You cant get rid of string noises, squeaks, buzzez, etc. You can only re-record it and edit it in, but it still has to be played cleanly. You, and clearly many people have the complete wrong idea about what can realistically be done in the studio. Its not Disneyland. It might be that way for vocal tuning, but for acoustic instruments, things havent changed that much. Anybody that has done a real deal album knows this. Ask Ricardo. TK

Anybody that has done a real deal album knows this. Ask Ricardo. ok...Ricardo...can an unclean player fake 5 minutes of clean playing after punching in the cleanest parts out of 100000 takes ? and could you tell how many takes he did before the track you are listening too ?

, but at the end of the day JM has access to all this modern studio technology too, and he still sounds like...well...JM ! true...but that's not the quality of his sound...its the content, the material...i have heard some of his albums or lessons dvd..and the sound itself was great...kind of older school sound...guessing that's also cause of his preference and his idea of how a flamenco guitar should sound on recording i dont think sound can transform a player and shift you 100% and make unrealistic changes to your skill...but i think good sound can make you sound better and bad sound can make you sound less better i think that if you took a photo with simons camera of the same object...it would probably make you seem like perhaps a better photographer than you really are ?.perhaps not like Simon, but in any case better than you are ..because it is a great camera...and if you took a photo of the same object with a $5 disposable camera it would make you seem average or even less skilled. if Simon himself took a photo of the same item...with the 2 different cameras, and you didn't know it was the same guy...it would look like perhaps two differently skilled photographers ? its not an accusation or an excuse or a way to discredit anyone's skill...its just a simple fact of life...better cameras photograph better, better video cameras get better quality videos, better guitars sound better, better recording equipment records better, and better vacuum cleaners have more suction...now theres always exceptions to those rules...but this are the exceptions, not the rule... its like saying Senna could have won the grand prix in a volvo cause he had skill...his car and his engineers had nothing to do with it
